    It's hunker down time with stocks...

    I'll think about that...I did not respond to the size or their question. I didn't take the bait... None of their business. How do you explain that you have unspent powder on the side, if opportunities arise??

    It's hunker down time with stocks...

    You don't know my income situation. I have A LOT of money on the sidelines. Much is stock...Just not wishing to add for awhile. I will be very choosy in what I buy. Example 5.5% (with safety), is nothing to sneeze at. Blood in the streets (great value), I will look at...

    It's hunker down time with stocks...

    I'm a retiree with money everywhere...Stocks, bonds, CDs, house, rental, lot, gold and silver coins. It seems like reading between the lines, The Fed will continue to raise rates slightly over the next six months...Even more so, if they can't tame inflation. It also looks like retirees are...

    Are there advantages to selling calls at several strike prices?

    Des, not arguing with you. You know the terminology better than anyone here. Here is the quote from Math... Not only do I not understand the nuances... I don't understand a lot of what you are talking about. I also do not think I'm approved for option trading straddles. Sorry, I'm a beginner...

    Are there advantages to selling calls at several strike prices?

    That's what he did with the 500 shares of XOM...At earning time. No rabbit hole here but, his wife doesn't even want him to do covered calls. I know because it happens to me...Quality stocks get called away and you are left with dogs. What I have ended up doing (just me), is doing leaps on...

    Are there advantages to selling calls at several strike prices?

    Des, he said he has done about 3 puts in his lifetime!! He is still working on CCs...With put protection. He has never laddered with time or price on CCs. Let him walk first...Understand what happened. PS He made money on both sides...Hardly ever done for newbies.

    Are there advantages to selling calls at several strike prices?

    Math, you're doing fine. Do the CC with the put buy backs for protection. Understand it fully...Do not pass go, do not collect $200. The last thing you want to do is blow up an account...Not understanding what you are/were doing. Getting a sticky finger or something. As you gain the...

    How can you truly tell a company is buying back their shares??

    So can the company create (the imaginary) support level at all, or would it be totally the market?? Just an example...Amazon. If they have authorized one billion dollars in buy back, could they prop up a dropping price with buy back...

    How can you truly tell a company is buying back their shares??

    Yes, I know the board of directors has authorized the amount they can buy back. Just wondering if traders can pick up signs that the company is buying back, before the next quarter release?? Are there any clues you can spot...

    Bids and Ask question

    Jon, If you were serious with that question, you should NOT be in the market!! You can plant your money in a CD or a Treasury while you read up on trading. You can invest...Buy and hold quality stocks if you wish. It would take hours to explain how market makers and dark pools work. But...

    ADR dividend...Trust vs Roth IRA

    I knew this a few years ago...The mind goes, what can I say. If I am in a taxable situation which is better? If I bought Shell or GSK (dividend paying foreign stock), where would it be better to be in, a Roth IRA or a trust?? Come tax time the following year, are they treated differently...
